My dad called today and said he has an extra Ipad that he might give away. He said that he was thinking about having everyone (I'm assuming my siblings and me) write an essay about why they deserve/want the Ipad. He may have been partly joking, but I decided to go ahead and enter the contest! So, here you go Dad. Here's my entry... :)
Top ten reasons Natalie needs and Ipad:
#10: Maybe I could get in touch with the world and update my 6 year old ipod with music of my own and not all of your songs that were on your computer six years ago!
#9: I love taking pictures, so how great would it be to be able to take the picture and then edit it all in one place? I think that would be really great.
#8: I am always in need of the latest weather report- we will be going to the park and the beach a lot. It would be great to be able to check the weather before we go, especially when we stop on the way home from errands. I also like to get the latest news and see what's going on in the world. I could read the news while the kids play on the playground and after I push them on the swings, of course!
#7: You are always asking me to set up Skype but our computer is too slow. If we had an Ipad we could chat all the time. You'd probably get sick of us from chatting so much!
#6: When I am out running errands there is always something I forgot to look up before I left. For example; directions or addresses to where I'm going, phone numbers, movie times, antique shops, store ads etc. How fabulous would it be to be able to do it from the car?!
#5: Browsing the internet or writing a blog post while the kids are playing in the pool outside would be awesome! There's so much to look at- decorating blogs, craigslist, friends' blogs. You get the idea.
#4: The Ipad will come in handy for composing all those #1 hits I've written. Haha. Reading books is a favorite thing to do so I could do it anywhere and watching movies would be fun to do in the airport or laying in bed at night.
#3: As a homemaker I am always looking for new recipes. I could look them up at home before I cook or in the store while I'm shopping. That would save a lot of trips back to the grocery store for that one thing I always forget!
#2: Scrabble is my favorite game. Bryan and I could have competitions or you can have a tournament with family and friends!
#1:....
Drum roll........
Think of how happy your grandchildren would be when they can play games, read books, watch movies and be perfectly occupied on the airplane or on road trips! The hours of entertainment would be fabulous for the mother too!

So, please consider your oldest daughter as a candidate for your Ipad. It would be well taken care of and loved! :)

That's awesome Natalie. It makes me want to go buy one.
You do realize that if you get an Ipad, you will never get to use it. The kids take over, fight over who gets to play angry birds, or you are not in a spot where you get a WiFi connection. Just sayin - Tony and the boys gave me one for Mother's day and I have yet to get to use it. They are awesome, however, and I can't wait until it is my turn. Good luck with you essay.
Well, I want to join the contest, but I doubt that I could out do that brilliant essay. I do congratulate your dad on putting it up for bid via an intellectual endeavor. One reason you may have missed - is that Bryan needs to keep apprised of BYU football.
